Tired of the traditional Christmas Tree. Learn how to make this easy Modern farmhouse DIY wood Christmas tree shelves. Add holiday cheer to any space, big or small, with a versatile minimalist tree that was a breeze to make from 2x4's.
Wonder why we decided to make this DIY Wood Christmas Tree Shelves? Since I have had my own place, I have always put up slim trees. I'm just fascinated by pencil-thin simple trees. I am not sure why I don’t like “traditional” wide trees- maybe it’s because I am just overwhelmed by how much you have to add to a big tree to make it look decent-Who knows?.
This year we have a huge great room and lots of space so I wanted more than just one pencil tree since it would just disappear in this big space. So I started looking for ideas on how to have a bigger tree without having a tree at all! So I came across some wooden wall tree shelves and We decided to supersize it to fit our current home.
The tree would match our modern Farmhouse decor and will serve as a display for my Christmas houses mini collection. What also made this wooden tree idea so appealing was that it could be done for under $15!

Have a question about this project?
Why is one side 71" and other 68". Is this neccessary?
Oh that makes sense. Thank You.
Is this displayed in front of a mirror intentionally? The effect is beautiful and allows full viewing of the "houses." I'll bet it's gorgeous when lit!
Not intentionally, all my other walls are occupied with decor so this was my only option.
